Screenshot of Paroli, the GSM app of OM2009

Om 2009 is the next version of the official Openmoko distribution. It is currently under developement and should be released in Summer 2009 to replace Om 2008. It will be based on freesmartphone.org milestone 5.5 framework and use Paroli as GSM software.

Features Status

Below is the feature list for Om 2009. It's broken down into features that have been implemented and need testing, and features that still need to be finished. Since Paroli is the chosen phone application, many of the features come straight from Paroli project.

Implemented

incoming and outgoing phone calls

sms incoming and outgoing

simple phone book (no images)

call log

charging

suspend and resume

resume speed < 2 seconds - this is close but waiting on a kernel bug

battery indicator - works for gta02 battery

gsm indicator

switch to elementary

wifi GUI

scrolling in UI - fixed by migrating from etk to elementary

switching profiles

in-call volume adjustment

settings tool (this needs to be enabled by editing /etc/paroli/paroli.cfg)

Not Yet Implemented or Broken

boot time < 2 minutes - currently examining ways to speed this up

install udev-static devices - caveat you lose bind-home

use readahead to cache python dirs before starting framework and paroli

Installing

You can add a bind-home directory to the first partition (must be ext2 or ext3 ) of your SD card. On the OM2009 boot it will be mounted as /home/root. This way you can reflash your phone without losing anything in your home directory ( Paroli contacts and settings, maps, etc )

Using OM2009

To have log directory that isn't cleared when you reboot, the /var/log symlink needs to be turned into a directory:

rm /var/log
mkdir /var/log

Development

When we set the very limited goals of OM2009 we had two goals in mind:

1. Give those members of the community who only wanted a daily phone, a distro they could use2. Introduce technology that would allow the community to come together and improve on these basics

Community interaction, open development and user driven decision making are at the core of Om2009. Going forward this will be an effort with the community for the community. I invite you to join the effort to make om2009 with paroli the best Om-labeled distribution for the Freerunner.

How can you help?

Test the distro, let us know about bugs you find, or even fix them and send us patches.

Tell us about your experiences using om2009, what should we change, where can we improve?

Paroli has come a long way but it still needs a lot of love and optimizing, so if you are into python or efl, check out the code from git.paroli.org, join #paroli on irc and let's get crackin'. There is lots of things to do, opimd needs to be integrated and improved, the UI needs polishing, overall speed can be increased etc etc

More into Chat and email? Feel like writing a jabber/irc/xxx or email client that really fits the screen? Or do you know of one? Let's hear about it. This device has a lot of potential and we are so close to reaching the far corners, the kernel is in good shape, the framework is doing great and telephony apps such as paroli or the shr suite are steadily improving.

So, get your Freerunner in shape again. Flash it with a nice current distro and let it do what it was meant to do :)

Let's make Om2009 a community product, something all of us can be proud of and say "we did this".
